Family Tradition at Holidays - Lefse

Charles and i made Lefse before Christmas as this is one of My Family's Traditions. My Mother used to make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. My Father was raised eating this at Holidays, so My Mother learned how to make it when they got married. Now that both my parents have passed away, I want to continue this tradition.  I remember helping Mother make this when I was young. Good Family Memories with Norwegian Traditions.

I used the Recipe Below:
Notes:
I used half and half instead of whipping cream
I also ordered more Lefse supplies from Lefse time, they were very fast in delivery even being ordered right before Christmas. I was very impressed.
I ordered Lefse Cozies and I think  using a Big Towel was actually better so I would not spend money buying these. 

Recipe:from Lefse Time

Ingredients

• 4 cups riced potatoes
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups flour

I just found this Video with a Recipe for Lefse that did not have Cream.  Interesting. 

I left a comment and waiting for the recipe and about her experiments that she made in testing a bunch of lefse recipes.  Here is the video Below:

Also we made a batch with Instant Potatoes with this recipe from this video:
But I think I will try hungry Jack next time to see if the flavor is better.
I think it was harder to Roll the Lefse out with instant potatoes than it was with the Real Potatoes. But either way both recipes tasted Great! :)


Instant Potato Lefse Recipe: From Video above
5 cups of water
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of Half and half
2 tsp salt
2 TBs sugar

Next Morning:
